what kind of twelve are you going to be using?? The airspace isn't going to be too much over one cubic foot, unless you start with a front brace and fiberglass the box in there. If you do that, thean you'll have enough airapace for any twelve.

I just mounted my sub in there yesterday. I have an Infinity Basslink. It's a 10" sub with the amp built in. But it fit in there great along with my satellite reciever box. I had it all stolen a couple days ago, but the cops caught them and I got my stuff back. I did have my stuff mounted on the rear deck. Now, it's all hidden away and I just removed my spare tire. Matt

This is what mine looks like. You can fit a 12 back there, but it will be that much harder to get the box in there.
Two pics.

No it wont, It might on some minor level, but I couldnt tell. Just make sure that you dont have the sub touching the plastic part.

<-- did the spare tire 12" SUB install years ago.
It came second to the back seat install but non the less very rewarding. I did the install after having my stereo stolen twice in the same month. I figured I could make my stereo stealth, loud, expensive, and pro, so I did.
If you can do figerglass, do it. It makes for a LOT more volume incase you don't have a solobaric .
